This clause flows down to all U.S.-based subcontracts and is deemed a material term under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), subjecting the contractor to potential False Claims Act liability for violations. The contract references Standard Form 30 for modifications, but contains no detailed specifications for packaging, preservation, labeling, barcoding, or inspection criteria beyond the item’s NSN and contract number; no MIL-STDs, technical standards, or accounting codes are provided. No contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is named, and despite references to invoicing and payment systems, no specific payment office, remittance details, or invoicing method such as WAWF are identified. The award’s basis, evaluation factors, and socioeconomic status of the contractor are not disclosed, with the only confirmed representation being Leidos’ CAGE code 5UTE2 and its compliance obligations under the DEI clause.
